The transcriptional legacy of developmental stochasticity
Genetic and environmental variation are key contributors during organism development, but the influence of minor perturbations or noise is difficult to assess.

ABSTRACT The ongoing invasion of the zoonotic parasite Angiostrongylus cantonensis threatens humans, other mammals, and birds. In Mallorca, neurological disorders associated with this parasite are increasingly reported in free‐living Algerian hedgehogs, Atelerix algirus, raising public health concerns.

Patterns of mammal subsistence hunting in eastern Amazon, Brazil
Hunting affects many threatened mammal species in Brazil. We described subsistence hunting patterns for medium‐ (1.0–14.9 kg) and large‐sized (>15 kg) mammal species by a rural community in the eastern Amazon, Brazil. From April 2012 to November 2013, we

Effects of reduced-impact logging on medium and large-bodied forest vertebrates in eastern Amazonia [PDF]
Standard line-transect census techniques were deployed to generate a checklist and quantify the abundance of medium and large-bodied vertebrate species in forest areas of eastern Amazonia with and without a history of reduced-impact logging (RIL).

ABSTRACT Environmental and climatic changes have shaped the evolutionary trajectories of natural populations, leaving genomic signatures that reflect how species respond to these shifts and their impacts on genetic health. While these insights are essential for unravelling evolutionary histories and informing conservation strategies, studies on ...

The intervals method : a new approach to analyse finite element outputs using multivariate statistics [PDF]
Background. In this paper, we propose a new method, named the intervals' method, to analyse data from finite element models in a comparative multivariate framework.

Social media videos highlight the impacts of the illegal use of snares on Brazilian biodiversity
Abstract Snares are one of the most used types of non‐selective traps for hunting worldwide, though their use is prohibited in many countries, including Brazil. Indiscriminate and unmonitored use of snares can induce serious conservation problems, particularly in megadiverse countries where higher species richness and diversity mean that the ...

Pixelated pathologies: Camera trapping as a tool for monitoring wildlife health
Given the increasing emergence of diseases, some with conservation and public health implications, improving and expanding wildlife health surveillance strategies is imperative. Camera trapping is particularly relevant for detecting new outbreaks, monitoring high‐risk zones and evaluating risk mitigation measures. Abstract Camera trapping has become an

ABSTRACT The June 1991 Mt. Pinatubo eruption resulted in a massive increase of sulfate aerosols in the atmosphere, absorbing radiation and leading to global changes in surface and stratospheric temperatures. A volcanic eruption of this magnitude serves as a natural analog for stratospheric aerosol injection, a proposed solar radiation modification ...
